the B-7: A rare vehicle from 1940
Discussion
Bombardier is now mainly associated with leisure snowmobiles, but started its business by building more functional vehicles for people who had to go across Quebec areas of remote or no roads...doctors, priests and the like.
M. Bombardier , the founder, came up with a sturdy vehicle in the late 30s called the B-7. Van-like in construction it used a Ford flathead V8. Several hundred were built though the later and larger B12 was in the thousands.
Very few B7s survive. I saw this one in a museum in Quebec City the other day. I had never heard of them.
